Editor's Pick 🫶🏻
POLPO E FAGIOLI 🐙
I was expecting the "POLPO E FAGIOLI" to be a bit chewy, but it turned out to be incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth.
The sauce paired perfectly with the octopus, creating an absolutely heavenly combination.
It reminded me so much of the polpo I had during my travels in Europe, instantly bringing back fond memories of my European adventure.
The flavors were so authentic that it felt like a little culinary trip back to Europe right there in the restaurant. Honestly, it was pure magic on a plate.
POLPO E FAGIOLI 🥩
The main dish, Korean beef steak, is prepared medium-rare, but if you prefer it more done, just ask the staff and they'll cook it further.
It’s slow-cooked at 56.7°C, the perfect temp for steak, making it melt-in-your-mouth tender with incredible umami. 🥰
Even the grilled green onions are a revelation!
The sauce? A 10-year aged balsamic that’s pure magic.
Every bite of this steak is so delicious you’ll be sad to see it disappear from your plate.🫶🏻
The Korean beef steak is incredibly tender and packed with umami,
melting in your mouth with every bite.
The final dessert, a tiramisu, combines smooth cream with a hint of coffee, leaving a delightful finish.

Lastly, the must-try item you can't miss is the 'Emilia Burger'.
You can add this adorable-sized delight to your course.
Don't be fooled by its small size – the combo of the bun, patty, and
sauce is absolutely magical. One bite and you'll be in foodie heaven.
Missing out on this? Major regret! ☺️🫶🏻
